Awesome thread! I start clinicals in just 2 weeks and I'm really nervous about being prepared to make the most of my time there. I have a wonderful clinical instructor but I'm still shaking in my clogs.

I would have liked to have a better hold on all the bones, bone features and muscles. That was a lot of memorization in such a short period of time for me. Also reviewing the immune system would have made that chapter a lot smoother for me. Our prof....

Hugs! You are not a failure and this does happen to people all the time. Most programs have a policy about how many times you are allowed to retake a class (mine is that you can retake science courses once each but no more, other courses you can ret...

Congratulations!

No presentations or reports for this professor. She even made a huge deal at the beginning about how there were no ways to get extra credit and the only break we get is in lab. In there we can drop our lowest quiz grade and double the highest one (on...

I loved the nervous system way more than the bones and muscles. I found it all easier to remember and really fascinating. To help me understand it from all angles I watched Dr. Marian Diamond's lectures on the anatomy and then a few other people's ...

I returned home from a wonderful weekend away with my husband (our 10th anniversary) to find THE letter in my mail. I was shaking and near tears sitting with it unopened in my lap. Bryan offered to open it for me but I felt like I should see it first...

Thank you all so much!! When I went to class yesterday I really expected to hear how everyone got accepted and I was geared up to not get sad about my alternate standing. Well, some had not gotten their letters at all, others did make it (the ladie...

Congrats! So many of you are doing such an awesome job! Can I borrow one of you for my test next week?

Hugs! You can do it! How are your lab grades? Do you know if she drops a lowest test grade at the end? Hang in there!

Thank you girls! The more I think about it the more positive I feel about it. I have met some wonderful people in my classes who have been told no several times and this was not a complete no. It will be interesting to go to class tomorrow and to ...

We also got a more definitive time frame for our letters today too - the first week in November. We'll just have to see if they are telling the truth. The nursing dept. had an open house on October 16th and this week people were getting letters from...

I am constantly blown away by the "kids" texting in class. In Micro there are a few girls who text through lecture AND lab. In my ethics class there a guy that sits next to me who has never bought the class texts and spends the whole class time eithe...

That looks a lot like what we covered on our first exam. I am by no means doing great in this class but on the info I do know well it's because I made 4x6 study cards that I carried everywhere and I looked at whenever I had a few moments. For memori...

YAY!!! Way to go Katie!! Now you need to change your user name to reflect the awesome change!!

congratulations!!!!! awesome!! are you gonna do something to celebrate??

Personally, for me that would have been too much. There is so much in this micro class that references A&P 1 and 2 and also chemistry that I am glad that we have to take it last. At my school you have to have completed both chemistry and A&P ...

Still waiting here too. Last rumor was that letters would go out after they did a Nursing Dept open house. That was the 17th of this month and nothing has gone out and no questions are being answered.

That sounds like ok #'s to me . Here at our school you just have to pass the NET with above 70 on each section. Other than seeing that your # is above that they don't care about anything else with it. They just want to see that you can do math and re...

I would take them one at a time and do chemistry, A&P's, and then Micro. Chemistry stuff is really touched on a lot in the later ones so starting with that will cause less confusion and problems. Of course, that's just my thoughts on it and me wi...

Our college doesn't do it that way either but I think it will actually be a benefit to you later on. It is the solid foundation you need for everything that will be coming after that. I know it seems redundant to do it that way but IMO it could be a ...

I hope it went well this morning!! Did they give you your results right after you took it?

I am 100% sure that that is one of my unknowns so I just have to figure out my other one. I went in to open lab yesterday and I did my gram stains and set up the culture for an endospore stain and did my inoculations for the methyl red tests for lac...

I had not thought about class on election day. I think we have it but there aren't any tests on those days. Next one is the 13th and it covers 5 chapters. I think we have a lab quiz then too. Yesterday we started discussing various chemotherapies and...

Today we went over the test from Thursday and I am kicking myself on some of the dumb stuff I did. At least 4 to 5 of the answers that were wrong I actually had right the first time. This is obvious on the actual test paper but the multiple choice ar...
